PSY 100 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Classical Conditioning, Blood Sugar, Conditioned Taste Aversion
Document Summary
A classical cs (the bell, for instance) does not merely evoke a basic, unitary reflex. Pavlov emphasized salivation as that was the only response he had assessed. Yet his bell almost certainly elicited a whole series of responses that served to prepare the organism for the next us (food) (see. For example, in addition to salivation, css (such as the bell) that signal near-food often elicit gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and insulin secretion (which induces blood glucose into cells). All those responses prepare the body for digestion. Moreover, the cs elicits a state of anticipation and approach behaviour. And providing a cs for food can also cause animals whose. Other facets of feeding include even classical conditioning. Flavors associated with certain nutrients (such as sugar or fat) may be favored without eliciting pairing knowledge. Flavors associated with stomach pain or sickness are avoided and hated in a similar way.
